Human health miniscanner

26.05.2013

Scientists have developed a device that allows you to quickly scan all the vital parameters of the human body: just hold the device to your forehead for less than 10 seconds.

This device is similar to the tricorder from the science fiction series Star Trek, where a universal scanner made it possible to quickly determine the state of health. The device, called Scout, was developed by the American company Scanadu, based at the Research Center. Ames (NASA) in Mountain View, California. The Scout can track key body functions including temperature, heart rate and rhythm, blood oxygen levels and stress levels.

The Scout scanner is extremely compact - you can carry it in your pocket and quickly check the state of the body at the current time. This will allow you to control the consequences of, for example, physical exertion or quickly identify a life-threatening condition.

Scout developer Walter de Brouwer said that the idea for such a scanner came to his mind when his son was in the hospital and had to watch monitors that control his life parameters. The principle of operation of the Scout is the same as that of stationary medical devices, but unlike the equipment in the clinic, it has much smaller dimensions and can be synchronized with the user's smartphone. This allows you to keep statistics of observations and detect anomalies.

The Scout device can be used everywhere, even at home. This should increase the safety of people, such as those suffering from hypertension. While the technical details of the novelty are unknown, but it can already be reserved on the developer's website.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Chocolate is not just a delicacy, but the mood and health of women 10.02.2024

Chocolate is not only a delicious treat, but also a powerful stimulator of endorphins and serotonin, which have a beneficial effect on mood and help reduce stress levels. This explains why one in four women consider chocolate the most enjoyable source of pleasure. The data comes from a survey conducted by the Italian Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Sigo).

For many women, chocolate is one of the strongest passions after intimacy. In addition, this product helps reduce pain. During premenstrual syndrome, about 68% of women use it, and during menstruation - up to 83%.

The study results indicate that chocolate improves mood in 97% of women surveyed and promotes feelings of arousal in 50% of them. They note that this delicacy relieves menstrual pain, eliminates headaches, relieves bloating and helps with insomnia.

The study confirmed that chocolate is an excellent aphrodisiac. Doctors note that women who regularly consume chocolate tend to be more sexually active and enjoy their sex life more.

It is important to note that the positive effects are associated specifically with dark chocolate, which contains more cocoa and less sugar compared to milk. Moderate consumption is limited to a few pieces per day, which helps avoid excess calories and sugar intake. People with high blood sugar levels should control their chocolate intake.

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is not only a tasty treat, but also a healthy product that can influence the mood and general condition of women. By supporting the production of endorphins and serotonin, it can be an integral part of your health and well-being. It is important to remember in moderation and choose a quality product for maximum benefit.
